Ingredients

Servings

Salmon Fish Cakes:

  • 1 salmon Pink or Red (Sockeye) Salmon, canned, ~7.5oz
  • ½ cup PLAIN yogurt whole milk
  • cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 2 thyme twigs, fresh
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 egg

Avocado Sauce:

  • ½ cup PLAIN yogurt whole milk
  • 1 avocado
  • 1 lemon juiced

Salmon Burger Toppings (Optional):

  • sandwich bun or sandwich bread
  • microgreens
  • spinach or lettuce
  • tomato

Instructions

  1. Drain any juice from the salmon can.
  2. Gently mix 1 TB olive oil, along with the rest of the salmon burger ingredients together with a fork. Mix until incorporated, and then stop. (Do not use a blender or food processor for this step, because you don’t want to purée the fish.)
  3. Divide the mixture into 4 equal parts, and then use your hands to form 4 patties.
  4. Chill the patties in the fridge for at least 10 minutes.
  5. While fish cakes chill, add the yogurt, avocado, and lemon juice to a blender and blend until smooth.Alternatively, mash all the ingredients with a fork until smooth.  (This version will be less creamy, but still delicious.)
  6. Heat remaining 1 TB olive oil in a heavy pan.  Sear the fish cakes for about 4 minutes per side, or until golden. 
  7. Serve burgers while still hot, along with the avocado sauce and any desired bread or toppings.
  8. Leftovers:Store leftover patties in the fridge, and use within 1-2 days. Sauce will not keep well, and should be used immediately.Make Ahead + Freeze: Let salmon patties cool, and then wrap individually and tightly with wax paper, plastic wrap, or foil.  Store in an air-tight container in the freezer, and use within three months.  To reheat, simply unwrap the patties and cook again.  Cook until golden.  Patties may take 2-3 minutes longer to cook from frozen.Sauce should not be frozen.
